Bruichladdich 16 Bourbon Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 90 Points

The bourbon influence gives this malt a nose dominated by oak and vanilla notes with subtle hints of peat. The taste is classic bourbon cask, vanilla, oak, and dark chocolate subtly balanced with peat and brine notes. The finish is a complex combination of oak and brine with a slight ashiness.
